CHAPTER 1. Married.
DATE: September 11, 2005
TIME: 2: Pm.
This fact was something Ben approved of. His hormones still worked rather well, even if his brain was slow to react.
Still he was in a bed, with not just one girl but two and he recognized one and it's Julie, in a room that was not his. Not to mention the room appeared to be redecorated in the most insane and scatterbrained way possible.
Ben decided that it would be best to get some answers straight away, because nothing made sense.
"-Hi.-" Whispered Ben in the blonde girl's ear as she stirred slightly. He was at a loss as to what to say next. So he opted for the first thought that came to mind
"Um, listen, it might be a good idea for us to get up, because…well…"
"Comfortable." Murmured the girl in her sleep induced state. "Don't wanna."
Her attitude indicated that she was around his age or just slightly older. At least that's what Ben guessed.
Ben remained silent as he pondered his predicament. "I need your help, I can't quite figure out what happened last night, not to mention that my girlfriend here might panic and…I think you might know."
The girl yawned as she opened her eyes. Long blond hair flipped out of her face. She considered Ben, as she looked at him with blue eyes, and studied him intently. "I figured as much. I'm not much of a morning person, so give me a sec…"
Ben checked a clock off to the side of the bed. "It's afternoon."
"Well, not much of an afternoon person either, I guess." Said the girl with a grin, as she looked at Ben and a mischievous grin appeared on her face. "Although, you could cut me some slack. You did put me through the paces last night."
The girl sighed, a smile on her face.
"They always said your first time would be magical, but I never imagined. And the second time along with your girlfriend, well technically she's your wife now as well goes along to the third time and the fourth and the fifth…and well so on."
Ben's green eyes widened. "Did we…"
In spite of herself, the girl giggled. She shifted slightly, so she could kiss him.
"Poor you, you don't remember it do you? That's okay, babe, we're just going to have to do it again when you're of sound mind. And once your first wife wakes up. Oh and Cool trick with the walls, by the way."
"Wait, you mean Julie?" He asked and
There was a moment of silence.
"Would you two take it down trying to sleep here?" Groan Julie as she sleeps on Ben's left side of the Bed.
There's another silence for the moment as Ben looks around he could've have gone alien last night and have sex wouldn't he?
"So the walls, the windows, the floor, the ceiling; that was me when we were…"
The girl just eyed the ceiling, torn between amusement and embarrassment. She took a deep breath and spoke. "Um, yeah, that was me actually with the ceiling. You see, I normally have better control, but…well all that matters is it was the ceiling and not you, Ben."
She managed to shake the cobwebs from her head.
"I'll explain everything, I swear. I know about your powers Ben. You told me a lot. More than you meant to, I think." Ben widened his eyes as he glanced at his Omnitrix.
"Wait so you know about the—" Ben trails off as he gestures to his Omnitrix and the girl nodded.
She knew his name, and Ben was still having trouble with his memory. Kevin had warned him that girls seldom took kindly to calling them the wrong name. What's more confusing is that Julie is with them.
"Right." Managed Ben. "You're still going to have to help me, um Kara." She smiled radiantly at Ben.
She then appeared to weigh something in her mind and there was a small bit of worry that crossed on her cheerful and playful demeanor.
"Well one of the most important things anyway." Said Kara, as she held out her hand and Ben spotted a curious addition on her finger..
"Oh shit, we got married, didn't we?" Asked Ben as he felt his headache return with full force. His stomach turned and he wondered how stupid could he be. Kara seemed like a nice girl, who did not deserve to be dragged in his utterly complicated not only that does Julie know?
"Not just Us." Kara pointed out as she picked up Julie's left hand and caressed it which got a soft sigh from the half American Japanese girl however Ben soon noticed that the girl's ring finger had yet another wedding ring on. "We all did."
"Wait so Julie knows?" Ben gape in stunned.
"It does seem a bit random and sudden and…"
Kara suddenly trailed off.
"So the three of us married." Ben muttered as he took a deep breath. "I need a minute to deal with this."
Kara watched him leave. She spoke in a soft voice. "Take as long as you need.
"Where's my phone…ah found it."
Ben turned and retreated straight into the bathroom.
In Bellwood's warehouse district, just outside Gwen Tennyson in her lucky girl costume and Kevin Levin who's wearing a mask to disguise his face were battling a snake-like alien named Ssserpent.
Ssserpent resembled a snake that stood as tall as a human. He had two boneless, jointless arms that end in snake mouths and a long tail that slithered across the ground.
"Aaahhhh!" Kevin Shouted as He charged at Ssserpent and leaped up, shouting out before he was swatted away and hit with a groan.
Gwen looked to her boyfriend and shouted out as she fired a bunch of mana balls that the serpentine alien dodged as Ssserpent then wrapped his hissing arm around Lucky Girl and hoisted her up into the air.
"Let me go!" The creature growled as he tried to poison Gwen with his arm, but luckily, she brought a shield up with her leg, blocking him as she blasted him with her mana eye lasers, sending him crashing away as she hit the ground with a frontflip.
"I thought snakes were supposed to rattle before they strike." She said however, Ssserpent just scoffed at her.
"I'm not a rrrattlesssnake." Hissed Ssserpent at Gwen.
"Whatever." Sigh in frustration as she charged up a Mana blast. "I was just making conversation." She stated as she fired some mana discs at Ssserpent as he dodged around she was about to charge at her when Kevin ran in with metal arms and hit him and smacked him away from her.
"Where were you?"
"I was looking for some metal to absorb."
He then tried landing metal punches on the snake creature, but he dodged them and spat some venom in his face before striking him off with his tail and he was about to retaliate when he was blocked off by Gwen who formed a shield to block him.
"Back off!"
"Snake venom burns!" Kevin proclaimed in pain as he tried to rub off the Venom's side effects Gwen noticed this and shut off the shield that was blocking off Ssserpent and sliced open the top of a fire hydrant and Gwen redirected it into Kevin's face, washing away the venom.
Ssserpent then slid over to her but she formed a shield to block him off however he grinned at him darkly.
"I swallow my prey whole." Disgusted Gwen scoffs at him.
"I did not need to know that." Ssserpent then slams into her mana shield cracking it to pieces as she backs off away from Ssserpent and Gwen Unleashed some kind of Mana Whip and tries to wrap around the arms of Ssserpent who tries to struggle free. "Kevin? You okay?" She called out to her boyfriend.
"I will be Gwen, as soon as I armor up." Kevin said, absorbing the concrete.
"This would be a lot easier if Ben was here, like he promised, an hour ago." Gwen said as she wrapped both Mama whip round the right arm of Ssserpent as Kevin grabbed it too.
"I guess that fancy watch of his don't keep good time!" Kevin said sarcastically.
"I just wonder where is he!" Gwen said.
Back in Vegas.
Ben manages to speak to Gwen from his phone as he is still in the bathroom.
"Hey Gwen, So this isn't a social call but I'm still in Vegas."
"~{VEGAS?!}~" Gwen exclaimed. "~{What are you still doing in Vegas? Didn't we leave back to Bellwood since morning?!}~"
Ben winces at Gwen's Voice. "Yeah about that, last night, I had a few drinks, and I met this girl."
"~{Did you just call now, to tell us you cheated on Julie?}~" Asked Gwen as she groaned from the other side of the phone as she and Kevin were still fighting Ssserpent.
"What no, no no as a matter of fact she knows." Ben protested.
"~{Well can't this wait Ben we're in the middle of something which we would appreciate your assistance!}~" Hissed Gwen through the phone.
"Uh huh? Assistance, from what exactly?" Ben asked.
"~{Well I'm just here to remind you that you're late for our mission!}~" Gwen reminded him and he facepalmed.
"~{And the bad guy is kicking our butts.}~" Kevin's voice was heard in the background.
"~{So if it's not too much trouble, hero up and get over here! And You can tell me what happened last night when you get here and help us now!}~"
"Uh, sorry, Gwen. Guess I just forgot." Ben smacks his head with his palm.
Julie just woke up and manages to shake off her upcoming headache and nausea and soon tries to remember last night's event and when she saw Kara Kent, the girl they met last night and married.
She still couldn't believe that both She and Ben are not only married at 15 but they were also married to this Beautiful farm girl Kara Kent from Smallville.
However something is off about her that Julie can't tell but whatever it they hope not not regret this wonderful accident.
Speaking of Kara; she admired the ring that Ben had given both her and Julie when the three of them married. She did not know much about Earth jewelry, but it did look beautiful.
As she and Julie got dressed, the consequences of the previous night weighed on her. She was married, at the age of seventeen, not only to Ben but also Julie who are both still 15.
She would be in so much trouble once certain people found out.
Yet somehow, it was worth it.
Four months ago, something really bad happened. Her cousin, known to most as Superman, known to his friends and family as Clark Kent, born Kal-El, had been kidnapped on the orders of Darkseid, the feared ruler of the planet Apokolips, a slave like hell hole. Darkseid was worshipped as a god by his enslaved followers.
He was brainwashed by the minion of Darkseid, a demented, mannish, hag by the name of Granny Goodness. Darkseid used Clark as his pawn to destroy the Earth, so he could pick up the pieces and conquer it. While he was not in violation of the treaty between New Genesis and Apokolips, given that he would be acting in a matter of benevolence.
Under her moniker as Supergirl, Kara tried to stop him, but she was overwhelmed. Clark had many more years where he trained his powers under the yellow sun and thus was much stronger than she was.
Lois Lane showed up to snap Clark out of it. Seconds before the two super powered beings got zapped with a Kryptonite gun, fashioned by Lex Luthor and the fanatical alien hating General Hardcastle. They were kept under red sun radiation which zapped their powers.
Luthor planned to inject Kal-El with liquid Kryptonite to slowly kill him. Kara was strapped to a table and she awaited her fate.
She suffered a broken arm, along with other minor injuries. She had been an inch from death.
Lex Luthor ended up getting punched in the face by Superman before he could do the deed.
It was a shame his broken jaw healed.
Clark won the fight with Darkseid, but Darkseid had won much more. He still ruled his home planet Apokolips, worshipped as a god by the enslaved and impoverished masses.
The general population mistrusted Superman, despite the fact he was brainwashed by Darkseid and Granny Goodness. While there were some minor signs of thawing, it would be a long time before everyone forgave and forgot.
Clark on the other hand, had strongly suggested that she stay out of trouble and at the farmhouse in Smallville with the Kents for her own safety. Kara fiercely protested, but Clark had been firm and would not wane. The Kents backed him up.
Supergirl was grounded for the infinite future, with no tights and no flights.
In a way, she kind of understood it was to keep her safe from people who would want to do her harm after the brainwashing fiasco, but at the same time, she was a teenager. Understanding went so far.
She needed freedom and not to be able to be cooped up in a farmhouse in the middle of Kansas.
Kara loved the Kents, but it could get boring after a while being indoors. She needed to get out of there and do something daring.
Vegas appealed to her sense of teenage rebelliousness. Granted, there was a bit of a problem getting through the doors due to her not being of the legal age to enter most of the establishments.
Of course, she had a guardian angel on her side, with emerald green eyes and messy brown hair. He allowed her to circumvent that little flaw.
She had a few drinks, she was stressed from over boredom. She would not recommend it to anyone especially without her powers but still she got to know this guy and really became fascinated.
He told her some things about himself and what he had been doing since he was ten Years old and as the matter fact he actually admitted to her that He was all those weird alien sighting five years ago and spend his whole summer protecting earth the other founding league members heard of this particular Ten alien species roaming the world 5 years ago during summer and with the same Green Hour symbol on their chest and both J'onn J'onzz and John Stewart have heard of an intergalactic organization known as the Plumbers which is funnily they thought they are those who fix their toilets and sinks but it's what John Stewart and J'onn J'onzz had told the League is that the plumbers are intergalactic police of sorts that make sure peace was ensure around the galaxy her cousin asked where were they when Darkseid attacks both Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern stated that the plumbers had an Earth's division since the 80s under an alliance agreement on a common threat they all face which was the one who rumored to conquered 10 Systems not only that after said threat was taken care off, the Plumbers Earth's division was shutdown a long time ago and that the main Plumber Division was band from entering this very sector of this Galaxy but that's for another story.
Anyways At first, she thought that he was telling some BS story, but over the night Ben and Julie both convinced her of his sincerity. They had some fun, and got to be teenagers.
One thing led to another and eventually they were married. She was more sober than he was but they went through with it. She was Kara Tennyson alongside her sister wife Julie Tennyson.
Kara Tennyson, she liked it. It fits.
Her husband had been in the bathroom for ten minutes. She resisted the urge to use her super hearing to check up on him.
"Better go see what's taking him so long." She muttered but the door opened and Ben just walked out. He was already dressed. Kara surveyed him, a bit more nervous than she would normally show. "Yeah, I know, you and Julie must hate me."
Hearing this Julie approaches her and hugs her left side. "Kara, trust us we would never hate you."
Both girls hugged each other along with Ben Joining them.
"Julie's right Kara, we don't hate you, trust us." Ben reassured her as he grabbed his wife's hand and she hugged him and Julie in a group hug. She took care not to exert too much strength, as not to break their ribs.
"But you might hate me, when I tell you this."
Kara led both Ben and Julie over to the bed and they all sat down.
"Ben, Julie about the Marriage. If you guys want a—" Ben put a finger to shut her lips.
"A what, Kara?" Ben asked. "A divorce?" Getting a nod pulled away his finger.
"Well, considering we're all underage wouldn't that cause a problem?" Kara asked, sighing. "I trapped you guys in something that would basically ruin your lives."
"Kara, didn't we already tell you about our lives being already screwed up anyways?" Julie reminded her.
"But what about you guys, don't you have normal lives to get back to? I'm 17 and you're both 15 years at Best I practically mess up your lives." However she got a snort from Ben who crossed his arms.
"Since when's my life normal?" Snorted Ben and Julie agree with him.
"Our husband is right." Julie sighs. "Wow, that's something to get used to. But that's besides the point in Japan marriage is taken too seriously and this would be dishonored to the Yamamoto family if I disgrace our family name by being drunk and reckless in the city of sin by going through something like marriage."
"But… if you're uncomfortable with his whole marriage situation." Sigh Ben shaking his head. "We can all work on the divorce back home at Bellwood my Uncle is some sort of a lawyer you see she can file us a report about—" Kara suddenly cut them off.
"No, I live with no regrets. Meeting you guys last night is the best thing that ever happened to me!" Kara smiles at Her husband and sister wife. "And being married to you Ben is new to me but I'll live through it!" She exclaimed, taking both their hands.
"Well if you're going through this whole marriage thing. Backwards as it is, to get married and then get to know more about each other, we should really share everything. I have my secrets, and…well there are some doozies, I'll tell you that. Over dinner later, maybe?"
She laughed as she looked over some items on the floor.
"Marriage certificate is over there, and the money you won last night, you were on a roll." Kara told them, as she went through the bags on the floor and she closed her eyes, hazed recollection. "Even more impressive when you were winning on machines that were very rigged. You got the room comped because they didn't want you to bankrupt them."
"Nice." Ben said as he looked at the winnings. He was rather well off, not the riches guy in the world by any means but he could live a comfortable lifestyle for decades off of his secret earnings through being an unofficial plumber cadet and funding he got from both his parents and with the help of Grey Matter and Brainstorm he manages to sell some fancy stuff online as if he didn't make stupid purchases "There's something you need to help me with."
"What?" Kara raised an eyebrow as Ben showed her his Omnitrix with that same hourglass symbol on those aliens that were being sighted 5 years ago.
"There's some urgency in Bellwood." Ben stated.
"What kind of Problem?" Kara asked, crossing her arms.
"That's the thing My cousin and her boyfriend are kinda like me well, not naturally but they're both superhumans."
"Basically the correct term is Metahuman Ben." Julie pecked his cheek.
"Right right, so back home, me, Julie, my cousin and Best friend are kind of a group of superheroes and right now they are dealing with a creepy villain." Hearing Kara was shocked she hadn't told him about herself yet and now she just learned that her Husband and Sister wife are some kind of Superheroes in Bellwood?
"I know it's a little confusing but see this right here?" Ben gestured to the Omnitrix and when she nodded. "Well it allows me to transform into different kinds of aliens."
"So wait, you're kinda like a Shapeshifter?" Kara asked and Julie shrugged but nodded with Ben.
"Yeah kinda like that." They both said.
"And now you need my help?" Kara asked.
"Not exactly we were wondering if I can drop you off back in my house on Bellwood and have us dea—-" Ben was cut by Kara again.
"Na uh mister. If you're leaving me behind while you go out going hero out there you got another thing coming mister." Kara put her hands on her hips.
"What but Kara?" Gape Ben but Kara was too stubborn to be left behind, guess the secret is out.
"I'm helping whether you guys like it or not." Kara said.
"Are you sure?" Julie asked as she motioned to Ship to stay hidden who was hiding under the Bed the whole night poke his head out as Kara responded with a nod.
"Well if you're sure." Ben said as Kara gripped his hand tighter and kissed him in reassurance. "Okay jul let's head out." Nodding Julie called out her Galvanic Mechamorph pop.
"Alright ship, get ready." Julie suddenly stated.
"Ship, ship, ship." The little alien blob like creature slither around to Julie's Shoulder.
"Whoa what is that?" Kara asked surprised and in awe.
"This is, ship." Ben patted the little alien in the head. "And he's a galvanic Mechamorph."
"What does he do?" Kara asked.
"Ship?" Julie smiles as the Mechamorph pop starts to morph around the American Japanese girl and soon she is covered with Galvanic Mechamorph armour.
"SHIP!" The alien said.
"Whoa." Gasp in awe by Kara and Julie grinned.
"Pretty cool right?" Julie said as she ordered Ship to morph a small compartment on the upper back of the suit as Ben put all of their stuff inside.
"Okay now that we are ready to go back to Bellwood we can carry you along with us." Ben said before they got blinded by a green light and Ben transformed into……
JETRAY!-" The now transformed married teen cried out.
"Yeah about that we'll get there in time even if we weren't on foot." Kara said smiling as she was ready to reveal her own secret.
"What are you saying?" Both Julie and Ben asked as Kara approached the window, before she stepped onto the window sill and stepped off.
Both had their eyes widened and their heart went a mile a minute.
"KARA!" Cried out Ben
"Is she nuts?" Asked Julie.
"What?" Kara asked as she peaked around the side of the window. A mischievous grin was once again plastered onto her face.
The girl floated in mid-air.
"She can fly?" Both Ben and Julie stood there, dumb struck and one thing they soon realize when they saw the red "S" Symbol on a shield on her shirt and that' their wife is supergirl!
"So How about we have a quick race back in Bellwood instead?" Both Julie and Ben look at each other with similar Mischievous grins.
'Our wife is awesome.' Both Tennyson couples thought.
